On America’s 250th, Mamdani called for unity – while Trump rewrote the past | Moustafa Bayoumi

This 4th, I’ve never been more pessimistic about the direction the US is headed. Calling the current administration corrupt is an understatement. But I remind myself that people are fighting. To all those working to preserve democracy, liberty, and autonomy, thank you. Happy 4th.

Zohran Mamdani rebukes Trumpism with pro-immigrant speech for US’s 250th birthday

July 23, 2025: The White House rolls out a plan to deregulate AI companies. Also, July 23, 2025: Trump buys up to $5 million apiece in stock of Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon & Broadcom. Coincidence? Congress must BAN stock trading by the President, VP, and lawmakers.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

It seems like it was lost in the news over the weekend even though it was announced on the EVO stage but: EVO Singapore has absorbed the TWT Finals, and they take place in the same weekend/venue. I would guess this is their goal for all the tours eventually.

I'm sorry to hear about the treatment and discrimination the trans community has to endure today on the last day of pride month. While many continue to disrespect you or even refuse to acknowledge you exist at all, you'll always be welcomed and treated with respect at FF or any other events I host.

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

This is a horrible expansion of presidential power that deserves front-page headlines. It means independent agencies are no longer independent, removing a major check on the president. That check was removed, to quote Sotomoyor, “by six justices on this court, not the people or the Constitution.”

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Do it ArcSys make it worse

If you still have a good and caring relationship with your father, today is a good day to remind them of that, but trust me when I say that *every* day is a good day to remind them of that. Because you never know when they'll no longer be able to hear it.

As @melissaparke01.bsky.social rightly puts it: "The lesson of the US-Iran war is the opposite of what the nuclear-armed states would have us believe. Two nuclear powers attacked a country with no nuclear weapons, and it is the nuclear powers who have been forced to stop." More in 🧵 #NuclearBan

And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.

‼️According to new research by @nuclearban.bsky.social, in 2025, the 9 nuclear-armed states spent $16.8 billion (19%) more on their nuclear arsenals than the year before, a total of $119 billion, or $3,768 per second on nuclear weapons. Read more here: www.icanw.org/2025_nuclear... #NuclearBan

I have nothing to add to the daily "AI is fucking trash" discourse other than this. Artists/Creatives/Etc are going through it more than ever, and they already chose an extremely difficult career path. If you're working with an artist, just be kind and understanding, it's the smallest of asks.

How much public funds did the 9 nuclear armed states waste on nuclear weapons? At a time when the cost of living is soaring and millions struggle to afford food and fuel, this is outrageous. Read more here: www.icanw.org/2025_nuclear... #NuclearBan #Divestment

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

The Trump administration investigated Chicago Public Schools and withheld more than $20 million when the district refused to end its Black Student Success Program, which aims to increase access to advanced coursework for Black students and reduce overly harsh discipline.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Simultaneously disappointed SF6 season 4 has no classic characters returning and excited to see what they do with the new characters. The duality of man.

"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good." —Pope Leo XIV

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

If you've enjoyed combobreaker (or any fgc event for that matter) take some time to tell the folks who make these things happen thank you. These events are monumental undertakings and it takes hundreds and hundreds of staff, bracket runners, production, etc to make them go. You'll make their day.

I don't care what your politics are, this is bullshit.

India, along with the other nuclear-armed states, this week is testing another missile, capable of holding multiple warheads. A destabilsing act when less than a year has passed since their hot conflict with nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan. #NuclearBan timesofindia.indiatimes.com/defence/news...

Simply Put: Your boy needs a break. Taking this month to reset myself and prepare to go work CB and see my FGC family. Once I feel like I'm back in better mental standing, then we'll get back to work. I'll still be around streams/discord, and FGC friends, I'll see you soon.
